Homecoming of Rebirth

At the end of the press conference, Bill only sighed, "Oh, God!"

It’s really too much for Microsoft, and the gap belongs to the point where you don’t need to hold the phone in your hand, just watch the press conference.

4.6-inch screen, 12mm thickness, 1000mAh battery, simple and aesthetically pleasing design, excellent camera function.

At the same time, it has a UI design that is smoother than Microsoft and more in line with mobile phone operating habits.

What makes Bill feel powerless is that the Apple iPhone.1 provides users with unlimited possibilities.

More intelligent functions, app development platform settings, although it is still blank, and due to the limitation of research and development time, it is still very immature.

But it is not difficult to imagine that the potential for software alone in the future is very large.This alone can throw Microsoft several streets away.

Fortunately, the price! !

Jobs fulfilled his words during the price turmoil and set the price of Apple mobile phones very high, which should have really increased the investment in hardware.

The listed price is $649 for the low-end version and $799 for the high-end version.

Compared with more than 500 Microsoft mobile phones, it has a lot of price space.It is also this trace of space that did not let Microsoft cool down as directly as Nokia.

Before Apple's software ecology was established, it means that the operating UI was more comfortable than Microsoft's, and there was no front physical button... There was a gap, but the gap was not too much, and the price advantage allowed Microsoft to survive. .

Bill is also worthy of being the all-powerful generation of bigwigs, and he still has a bearing.

After the press conference, he was still in the mood to tease Jobs, "Steve, you must have spent the rest of your life to make such a damn thing!"

Leader Joe shrugged, "Bill, you're right, in fact, the competition for mobile phones is all about imagination!"

Can't help looking at Qi Lei, "Whoever has the most imagination is the winner. Right, Qi?"

Qi Lei pursed his lips, "That's almost what it means."

After hearing this, Jobs asked again, "So what do you think of the iPhone 1?"

After speaking, his eyes were a little eager, revealing his true thoughts, he was very concerned about Qi Lei's evaluation.

And Qi Lei didn't hesitate to praise, and gave a thumbs up, "Steve, your imagination... is invincible!"

……

Chapter 623 This World... Here I Come!

Invincible!

Qi Lei is not flattering, this is the most sincere evaluation.

Qi Lei is an asshole, he doesn't need imagination.And Qiao Gangzhu created an era entirely by relying on his own ability.

Qi Lei sincerely admires being able to make a mobile phone for this sake.

At least, if he didn't have the experience of later generations, he would not be able to achieve this level in the field of mobile phones.

When Jobs heard that Qi Lei actually used the word "invincible", he couldn't help being startled.

What's the meaning?Can Sanshi’s mobile phone not have Apple?Otherwise...he shouldn't have used this word, right?

Inexplicably disappointed.

Yes, disappointed!

Putting aside business competition, Jobs still retains a trace of geek paranoia and simplicity.As far as product innovation is concerned, he hopes, no!It's the desire that Qi Lei, an opponent, can bring some surprises.

"Qi, I hope this is a hypocritical compliment, it's up to you then!"

Qi Lei was noncommittal, and he couldn't see whether Sanshi's mobile phone could have any surprises, so he just said, "You say that, it puts me under a lot of pressure!"

Bill raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that Steve Qi Lei still had expectations at this time.

In response to the situation, I said, "Qi, what we said before still counts, do you think about it again?"

Ah well, he is still thinking about the industry chain that swallowed three stones!

……

The media coverage and commentary on the smartphone wars was as good as ever.

Apple undoubtedly replaced Microsoft and became the final winner.

As for Motorola and BlackBerry, which have not yet been released, it is unlikely to surpass the iPhone under rational analysis.

As for the Sanshi mobile phone, people have given up on it themselves, so it's no wonder that public opinion doesn't like it?became a completely forgotten existence.

Yes, people don't even bother to mention that brick, but occasionally appear as a background board and object of ridicule in comments on iphone and Microsoft.

In terms of sales, it is also obvious that Apple has also done enough work to launch the market immediately after release, and has its own offline channels, which is extremely popular.

Although Apple did not announce the specific sales situation, the industry expects that the quarterly sales volume should not be less than 300 million units.

This figure may not be a big deal compared to old mobile phone manufacturers such as Nokia and Motorola, but it is already quite scary compared to an expensive mobile phone with a price of nearly 7 or 8 US dollars that has just come out.

……

And when everyone was reveling in this battle of smartphones, on March 3, Sanshi, which has never had a sense of existence, carried out the only publicity before its listing.

On all the iconic buildings in Paris, Milan, Rome, London, Berlin, New York, Los Angeles, Tokyo, Seoul, Beijing, Shanghai, and Dubai, Sanshi Company's press conference posters were printed on the same day.

"At eight o'clock in the evening on April [-]st, see you there!"

It was only then that people remembered that there was still a "show" to watch on April Fool's Day.

But the content of the poster...

"FUCK! Sanshi's plan must be a pig!"

……

"It's not over, is it?"

……

"I really can't understand why they keep promoting that brick?"

Yes, Sanshi's poster still shows Unit 0!

It's just that last time it was still a silhouette, but this time I didn't even bother to make a silhouette, so I just pasted the picture of the No. 0 machine on it.

That's ugly!

Even his colleagues couldn't figure it out, what the hell was Sanshi doing?

You said he gave up struggling?Before going public, he will give you the big one; you said he will go public right?He will hang a brick for you.

What routine?

Completely incomprehensible.

For this reason, Bill also made a special call to Jobs, "Did he really succeed? But what happened to machine 0?"

Jobs also wanted to ask, but he could only answer, "Won't there be an answer soon?"

On April [-]st, Seattle North American Sanshi Headquarters.

It was the first time for Lao Qin and Nan Lao to visit Qi Lei's North American headquarters. They stood downstairs looking at it for a long time, and said to Qi Lei beside him, "Okay, that Paulson is quite generous, at least this building is not bad."

Byron curled his lips arrogantly, "Capitalist, there is no good thing!"

Don't forget, it was Paulson who drove him out of ARM in the first place.

A group of people entered the building, continuing to talk about what happened.

Everyone is here to participate in the mobile phone conference.Besides these few, Ding Lei, Xiao Ma, and Wang Zhendong arrived yesterday.

Uncle Geng was earlier.

The only pity is that none of the friends came except Zhao Wei and Yang Xiao.

"Are you sure?" Elder Nan asked Qi Lei in a low voice while he was free.

It can be said that this is the last step of the Long March. Even if I have a little bottom in my heart, I have no bottom now.

And Qi Lei said truthfully, "I don't know."

Old Nan frowned, took a good look at the unlucky boy, and said a Northeast dialect, "It's nothing! What can I do? Let them clean up everything."

Well, Uncle Nan comforted Qi Lei in turn, "You have to use the energy you had when you released Pangu."

"Release Pangu?" Qi Lei wondered, was that five or six years ago?

In the afternoon, Qi Lei went to pick up Bill and Jobs.I didn't have too many exchanges with them, and I left all the time for preparing for the press conference in the evening.

In this regard, the two did not feel neglected.No matter how well Sanshi's cell phone is doing, Qi Lei, as the boss, should do this.

Bill even had one last hope, and tonight three stones of the phone hit the street, and I swallowed it.

Due to the publicity on the Internet a few days ago, expectations for the evening press conference are still quite high.

It's not that the brick is so attractive...

I have given up hope on the Sanshi mobile phone, but it doesn't matter!It doesn't prevent people from watching a talk show on April Fool's night.

In fact, without that wave of publicity, everyone would still watch the press conference.Because the entertainment attribute of President Xiao Qi's press conference has passed the test of time and is also world-renowned.

Therefore, the audience rating of the press conference is not a problem at all.

Several TV stations in North America even bought the rights to broadcast live.

This night, countless people stood in front of the TV and computer, watching Mr. Qi's performance.

……

After six o'clock, Qi Lei went to the venue to prepare, feeling uneasy.

It would be a lie to say that he was not nervous, this was the biggest thing he did after his rebirth.

In addition, not only himself, so many people, almost all of China's semiconductor colleagues pushed Sanshi to this step against him.

Just the last shiver, who wouldn't feel flustered?

At 07:30, guests from all walks of life began to enter the venue.

As soon as Bill came in, he found something new before he even got to the first row of seats.

"Shit! Is Qi really going to release that brick?"

I saw that the stage was very simple, with a big screen, a few Sanshi logo embellishments, and the rest was only a table in the middle of the stage with a mobile phone on it.

Don't get me wrong, it's not Sanshi's new machine, but machine 0, that brick.

Qi Lei couldn't do without that brick, right?

He and Jobs looked at each other with wry smiles.

I don't understand, I can only say that they can't understand the thinking of young people at all, and that brick is almost becoming a feeling.

As soon as [-]:[-] a.m., no matter whether it was the webcast or the TV live broadcast, everything was on the stage, and the whole world was staring at that brick, and everyone was not calm anymore.

"God! It's still that brick!"

……

"Three stones are getting more and more incomprehensible."

……

As everyone knows, not only is there a brick on the stage, in fact, today's press conference also revolves around that brick.

This is the strategy that the little girl in the fourth period of the Young Eagle came up with.

What I have done before, and the press conference after that, set off this brick.Diverting the attention of public opinion is also on this brick.

All the magical operations are for this brick.

When Qi Lei walked onto the stage with a wireless headset and a cue card, although the scene was politely quiet, it gave people a feeling that this was not like a mobile phone conference, but more like a brick performance .

The music stopped, the big screen turned on, and there was still a picture of a brick, and a super high quotation of 749-949 US dollars.

Qi Lei didn't have any opening remarks, turned around and looked at the big screen, "We have seen the issue of the price of Sanshi's mobile phone, and we have also seriously faced the controversy. After serious discussions, everyone has seen the final result."

"We accepted the criticism, determined to correct it, and lowered the price! Really lowered!!"

"Look, one dollar down."

"It's very sincere."
